Rrfs 202019 Philippines Earthquake Rapid Response Fund No. 20/2019 Rapid Response Fund (RRF) Section 1: Overview of response Philippines Emergency assistance for people affected by the earthquake in Mindanao Summary National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP) Implementation November 8, 2019 to February 9, 2020 period 3 (months) Geographical area North Cotabato Province – Municipalities of Makilala and Tulunan Davao del Sur Province – Municipalities of Bansalan and Magsaysay Sectors of response Food Security Targeted 1,500 households beneficiaries Requested budget USD 59,340 (USD) Is there an updated ACT Forum EPRP? Yes Section 2: Narrative Summary Background On October 29, around 9:04 AM, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) recorded a magnitude 6.6 earthquake with the epicenter located in the municipality of Tulunan, North Cotabato with a depth of 7 kilometers. Just 2 days after, a 6.5 magnitude shook Central Mindanao with its epicentre at Tulunan, North Cotabato. Almost two weeks before these, on October 16, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake was recorded with the same epicenter Tulunan, North Cotabato. All of these occurrences are considered as part of a sequence of events from interrelated faults in the region. PHILVOLCS has reported that aftershocks may continue until December this year. Due to the magnitude of the events, landslide incidents were reported, and small to medium-sized earthquakes are experienced by the affected communities. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) has recorded 50,930 households/254,473 persons affected by the series of earthquakes in the provinces of Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, and North Cotabato. UN OCHA estimates about 43,600 displaced people with about 80% of them staying in evacuation centers. They also reported that 33,110 houses have been damaged, 67% of which totally destroyed. Tulunan and Makilala municipalities in North Cotabato and Magsaysay, Davao del Sur have been most affected. There is a reported total of 22 dead, 424 injured, and 2 missing persons. Humanitarian Needs The number of displaced people and people moving to evacuation centers is increasing every day as they feel the aftershocks and its effect on their homes. The most urgent and requested assistance needed are food, sleeping materials, and tarpaulins which people turn into makeshift tents. We expect that the need to support repair and reconstruction of houses will also increase. Evacuation centers, usually school buildings, are also getting damaged by the aftershocks that people prefer to stay in makeshift tents around it. The national government leads the emergency response although the needs on the ground are much more than what they can support. Confusion on the relief distribution process has resulted to incidents of disputes and unrest in some evacuation centers. NDRRMC has reported that water systems have been damaged in most areas that water supply is limited especially for drinking water. Some evacuation centers have rations, wherein evacuees would have to provide their own containers. Most displaced individuals, especially children, exhibit the need for psychological first aid and debriefing because of trauma. Capacity NCCP has conducted a number of humanitarian response programmes for many years. The NCCP Secretariat’s Humanitarian Response Team will partner with the Cotabato Regional Ecumenical Council (COREC), a network of local NCCP member churches that has been active in engaging with its communities, especially with the farmers and indigenous people groups. COREC has partnered with the NCCP Secretariat for its relief and rehabilitation project in Cotabato for Tropical Storm Sendong in the past. The NCCP Secretariat is also coordinating the emergency response efforts with its member churches, such as the United Methodist Church-Davao Episcopal Area through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), United Church of Christ in the Philippines, Iglesia Filipina Independiente, and Episcopal Diocese of Southern Philippines. Its ecumenical partners, Asuncion Perez Memorial Center Inc. and Citizens Disaster Response Center, are also included in the coordination work. The NCCP is maximizing the Philippine FBO Forum, a network of the three largest Christian councils in the country for humanitarian and development, which is initiated by the ACT Philippines Forum. NCCP coordinates with other humanitarian actors as well, and is active in the coordination mechanisms in the country. With the growing and urgent need for emergency response, the NCCP has already activated its emergency response team and will proceed with the response once resources become available. As a local counterpart, the NCCP Operation Paglingap, a local mobilization program for financial, material, and human resources, will also be launched. Proposed response The proposed response will provide immediate relief through the distribution of food packs to 1,500 households in four (4) municipalities from the two aforementioned regions. The following are the priority areas identified by the NCCP in the affected regions: Province Municipality Target beneficiaries (North) Cotabato Makilala 600 HH Tulunan 400 HH Davao del Sur Bansalan 100 HH Magsaysay 400 HH Does the proposed response honour ACT’s commitment to Child x Yes ☐ No Safeguarding? Problems A series of destructive earthquakes occurred in the island of Mindanao, particularly the provinces of North Cotabato and Davao del Sur which affected the lives of its people. Aftershocks are expected to continue until the end of the year which causes fear and anxiety while people live in makeshift tents outside their homes. Access to food, water, and livelihoods have been disrupted which makes them vulnerable to illness and diseases. Target At least 1,500 directly affected households which represent 7,500 individuals beneficiaries (3,719 women; 3,781 men; 1,599 girls; 1,691 boys). Main activities In coordination with the local partners and authorities in the areas, the following activities are planned to be undertaken within three months: 1. Provision of 1,500 food packs 2. Further assessments will also be conducted as we monitor the earthquake’s impact. Specific 1,500 households are able to meet their basic food needs for two weeks objective(s)/ Outputs Overall objective Address the emergency food needs of households affected by the / Outcome(s) earthquakes in four (4) municipalities in Regions 11 and 12.

    Ethnic and Religious Conflict in Southern Philippines: A Discourse on Self-Determination, Political Autonomy, and Conflict Resolution Jamail A. Kamlian Professor of History at Mindanao State University- ILigan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), ILigan City, Philippines ABSTRACT Filipina kini menghadapi masalah serius terkait populasi mioniritas agama dan etnis. Bangsa Moro yang merupakan salah satu etnis minoritas telah lama berjuang untuk mendapatkan hak untuk self-determination. Perjuangan mereka dilancarkan dalam berbagai bentuk, mulai dari parlemen hingga perjuangan bersenjata dengan tuntutan otonomi politik atau negara Islam teroisah. Pemberontakan etnis ini telah mengakar dalam sejarah panjang penindasan sejak era kolonial. Jika pemberontakan yang kini masih berlangsung itu tidak segera teratasi, keamanan nasional Filipina dapat dipastikan terancam. Tulisan ini memaparkan latar belakang historis dan demografis gerakan pemisahan diri yang dilancarkan Bangsa Moro. Setelah memahami latar belakang konflik, mekanisme resolusi konflik lantas diajukan dalam tulisan ini. Kata-Kata Kunci: Bangsa Moro, latar belakang sejarah, ekonomi politik, resolusi konflik. The Philippines is now seriously confronted with problems related to their ethnic and religious minority populations. The Bangsamoro (Muslim Filipinos) people, one of these minority groups, have been struggling for their right to self-determination. Their struggle has taken several forms ranging from parliamentary to armed struggle with a major demand of a regional political autonomy or separate Islamic State. The Bangsamoro rebellion is a deep- rooted problem with strong historical underpinnings that can be traced as far back as the colonial era. It has persisted up to the present and may continue to persist as well as threaten the national security of the Republic of the Philippines unless appropriate solutions can be put in place and accepted by the various stakeholders of peace and development.

  • Over Land and Over Sea: Domestic Trade Frictions in the Philippines – Online Appendix
    ONLINE APPENDIX Over Land and Over Sea: Domestic Trade Frictions in the Philippines Eugenia Go 28 February 2020 A.1. DATA 1. Maritime Trade by Origin and Destination The analysis is limited to a set of agricultural commodities corresponding to 101,159 monthly flows. About 5% of these exhibit highly improbable derived unit values suggesting encoding errors. More formally, provincial retail and farm gate prices are used as upper and lower bounds of unit values to check for outliers. In such cases, more weight is given to the volume record as advised by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), and values were adjusted according to the average unit price of the exports from the port of the nearest available month before and after the outlier observation. 2. Interprovince Land Trade Interprovince land trade flows were derived using Marketing Cost Structure Studies prepared by the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics for a number of products in selected years. These studies identify the main supply and destination provinces for certain commodities. The difference between production and consumption of a supply province is assumed to be the amount available for export to demand provinces. The derivation of imports of a demand province is straightforward when an importing province only has one source province. In cases where a demand province sources from multiple suppliers, such as the case of the National Capital Region (NCR), the supplying provinces are weighted according to the sample proportions in the survey. For example, NCR sources onions from Ilocos Norte, Pangasinan, and Nueva Ecija. Following the sample proportion of traders in each supply province, it is assumed that 26% of NCR imports came from Ilocos Norte, 34% from Pangasinan, and 39% from Nueva Ecija.

Pagdilao** A Background Paper for the Workshop on Institutional Frameworks for Community Based-Coastal Resources Management and Marine Conservation in the Visayas Region, Leyte, Philippines March 14-15, 2002 URI Bay Campus, South Ferry Road, Narragansett, RI 02882 USA Phone: (401) 874-6224 Fax: (401) 789-4670 Website: http://crc.uri.edu * Graduate College of Marine Studies, University of Delaware ** Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development 1 I. Introduction A. Historical background and perspective The Philippines has more than two decades of experience in coastal resources management (CRM) and marine conservation, particularly in community-based initiatives, from which other countries in the region are drawing. However, a reservoir of lessons learned have not as yet been applied and translated significantly into improved environmental status nor to an uplifted socio-economic status of poor coastal communities. It has been reported that only 19% of community-based coastal resources management programs and projects implemented between 1984 and 1994 were successful (Pomeroy and Carlos 1997). These findings lead to the question of what is causing this low rate of success. Is there a need for a shift in the CRM model being followed? Or should these projects and programs simply need more time to mature and produce tangible results? A project implemented by the University of Rhode Island Coastal Resources Center looked at the contextual and intervention factors that affect the success of community-based marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Philippines which are a common or oftentimes the major intervention of coastal management programs.

  • Chapter 5 Improved Infrastructure and Logistics Support
    Chapter 5 Improved Infrastructure and Logistics Support I. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Davao Region still needs to improve its infrastructure facilities and services. While the Davao International Airport has been recently completed, road infrastructure, seaport, and telecommunication facilities need to be upgraded. Flood control and similar structures are needed in flood prone areas while power and water supply facilities are still lacking in the region’s remote and underserved areas. While the region is pushing for increased production of staple crops, irrigation support facilities in major agricultural production areas are still inadequate. Off-site infrastructure in designated tourism and agri-industrial areas are likewise needed to encourage investment and spur economic activities. Accessibility and Mobility through Transport There is a need for the construction of new roads and improvement of the existing road network to provide better access and linkage within and outside the Region as an alternate to existing arterial and local roads. The lack of good roads in the interior parts of the municipalities and provinces connecting to major arterial roads constrains the growth of agriculture and industry in the Region; it also limits the operations of transport services due to high maintenance cost and longer turnaround time. Traffic congestion is likewise becoming a problem in highly urbanized and urbanizing areas like Davao City and Tagum City. While the Region is physically connected with the adjoining regions in Mindanao, poor road condition in some major highways also hampers inter-regional economic activities. The expansion of agricultural activities in the resettlement and key production areas necessitates the opening and construction of alternative routes and farm-to-market roads.
